All the King’s Horses-All The King’s Men.

As the G-d forbids came at us in rapid fire succession we honed a new set of skills in the “We’ll get through this Dept.” And…

5 months later we did.

We are finishing up the large sized box of cereal, packing up our summer garb which is now also worn in winter and heading South.

Through the years we toasted at every dinner across a myriad of tables and with oh! so many familiar faces that if and when health became challenging we “could” plow through and realize success. 

Dear G-d thank you for lending us the strength to push aside our petty indifferences, forget about toothpaste caps sitting idle and focus all our positive energy on healing. 

We pray that our chance to learn these life saving lessons becomes incorporated in our gratitude list. You did us a solid in the here’s an opportunity, do with it as you see fit. 

Next Sunday we will celebrate 25 years of marriage.

Ira, you threw your hat in the ring and Hashem returned it refurbished. What a team.

So for today we’ll take the category “Too Good” for a thousand please. B”H.
